THE CULTIVATOR. 
Barnaby & Mooers’ Patent Side 
T O which was awarded the highest premium (a silver cup) 
by the American Institute, at their Annual Fair and 
Flowing Match for 1840, and the first premium, a Gold Medal, 
at their Plowing Match for 1841; being considered the most 
valuable plow for general purposes. Also the honorary pre¬ 
mium of $30 by the New-York State Agricultural Society, 
at their test of plows at Syracuse, 1841. 
The undersigned of Ithaca, Tompkins Co. N. Y., is now 
at the date hereof, the sole proprietor of the Patent Right for 
the states of Maine, Connecticut, New-Jersey, Ohio, North 
Carolina, and Georgia. Also the undivided half and joint 
owner with H. Mooers of the following counties in the State 
of New-York, viz: Chautauque, Cattaraugus, Erie, Niagara, 
Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, Allegany, Steuben, Livingston, 
Monroe, Ontario, Wayne, Seneca, Chemung, Tioga, Oswego, 
Cayuga, Cortland, Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Lewis and Hamil¬ 
ton. The proprietor offers to sell, on reasonable terms, the 
right of manufacturing and vending the above plow, either 
by states or counties, as may suit applicants, and in all cases 
furnish patterns of the various sizes, if required. 
The orders of farmers and others for plows, directed to 
Ithaca, Tompkins Co. N. Y., will be promptly attended to, 
and forwarded according to directions to any of the above 
named territories, while the Patent Right shall continue to be¬ 
long to the present owner. 
The cut above is a correct representation of the plow, show¬ 
ing the whole of one side and a small part of the mold-board 
on the opposite side, and in way of explanation would say, 
both sides of the plow are precisely alike, and the mold-boards 
so formed that they both serve as land side and mold-board, 
when used as such. The standard is round and serves as a 
pivot for the beam to revolve upon, allowing it to traverse on 
the cross piece between the handles, and when the beam lays 
near either of them, it is then parallel or in line with the mold- 
board on that side, and that one is then the land side, and the 
other serves as mold-board. In coming round to plow back, 
the plowman touches with the foot, the hold-fast passing 
through the socket on the end of the beam, pressing on it in 
the same manner as we do on a thumb latch to open a door, 
which disengages the hold-fast from a catch, the team at the 
same time by turning round carries the end of the beam to 
the opposite handle, where the hold-fast by a small spring be¬ 
hind it forces it into a catch as on the other side, confining 
the beam until removed as above described. The catch- 
Hill and Level Land Plow, 
es above referred to, can be moved towards or from the 
handles in a groove on the backside of the cross piece in or¬ 
der to make different width of furrow, which can be varied 
from eight to sixteen inches, and still wider when the furrow 
is thrown down hill. 
This plow is of late invention, and is becoming popular 
with those that use it, and is already made in several coun¬ 
ties in this State. 
The premiums which have been awarded it, have always 
been for plowing done on level ground. For side hill it has no 
competitor. The advantages peculiar to this plow are several, 
and among them may be mentioned, 
1st. It is either a right or left hand plow, admitting the fur¬ 
rows all to.be laid one way. 
2d. By the simple arrangement at the end of the beam al¬ 
ready mentioned, the width of furrow can be varied as cir¬ 
cumstances may require. 
3d. By placing one of the catches in the hole for that purpose 
in the center of tne cross piece to confine the beam, it then, at 
the same time,throws a furrow both ways, preparing it for plow¬ 
ing between corn or anything planted in rows, and is found 
very convenient for digging potatoes by plowing deep and 
splitting the rows or hills; also for ditching, and plowing in 
green sward, making what is called “green ridging," prepar¬ 
ing it for planting corn, by throwing two furrows toge her and 
planting on the ridge. Allow me to say to farmers who have 
not adopted this plan, that I have seen great crops produced 
from such a process. 
4th. If the farmer has side hill to plow, he is, with one of 
these, prepared for it; and last not least, I am convinced by 
many experiments I have made with a dynamometer and oth¬ 
er methods, to ascertain the power necessary to do the work, 
that a plow on this principle admits of a form or construction 
oi mold-board, not available in the common horizontal or 
swing plow, to render it of lighter draft. 
Three sizes are now made; No. 3, weight of castings 70 
lbs.; No. 4, 80 lbs.; and No. 5, 90 lbs. No. 4 and 5 suffi¬ 
ciently large for breaking up fallow ground or green sward, 
and No. 3, also in light soil or sandy loam. 
The price is $10, $10.50 and $11, graded according to size. 
Coulter, if added, $1.50, and wheel $1.00 extra; snares 50 
cents. JUSTUS SLATER.

To Farmers. 
T HE writer, a young man 23 years of age, is desirous of 
obtaining a situation with some practical farmer; he has 
received a liberal education, and for a number of years has 
been engaged in mercantile pursuits, with the exception of the 
last eighteen months, during which time (being out of em¬ 
ploy and from childhood having had a taste for farming,) he 
has devoted himself to the reading of agricultural works. He 
would prefer a situation with some farmer advanced in life, 
under whose guidance and direction he would be, and at the 
same time take charge of the farm, receiving for his service a 
share of the produce. He is active, persevering and fond of 
work, and is willing to go to any part of the country, provided 
it is ‘healthy. Satisfactory testimonials of character, ability, 
&c. will be given. 
Any person feeling disposed to make an arrangement with 
the writer, can hear further from him by stating his address 
through the columns of the Cultivator.

THE NEW WORLD. 
EDITED BY PARK BENJAMIN. 
This well-known journal of Literature, Science, Art and 
Intelligence, continues to increase in the favor of the public 
as its merits become more widely known. The most dis¬ 
tinguished literary men of the age, both in America and Eng¬ 
land, are engaged as contributors to its columns. Besides 
Donald MacLeod, resident of London, Francis J. Grund, 
in Bremen, and Brantz Mayer, in the city of Mexico, it has 
correspondents of the first order of talents in Constantinople, 
Africa, and other parts of the world, who will give to the 
New World an interest and value which no other paper on this 
continent can possess. Proof sheets and copies of popular 
works issued from the prolific press of England are "received 
and given to the readers of the New World in advance of 
their ordinary receipt in this country. All new discoveries 
and advances in the Sciences and Arts find an early place 
in its columns. Each number is embellished by one or more 
SUPERB ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD, 
done in the best style of the art. These arrangements for the 
gratification of the readers of the New World, which render 
it without a rival in this or any other country, have been made 
at a vast additional expense; and the proprietors feel a confi¬ 
dence that they will meet a full reward from the enlightened 
people of America. 
The columns of the New World are uncontaminated by 
party politics, and its ample pages unsoiled by profane and im¬ 
proper jests, vulgar allusions or irreligious sentiments. Thus 
the New World is made an unexceptionable Family News¬

“ THE CULTIVATOR.” 
TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS. 
T HE CULTIVATOR, (a consolidation of Buel’s Cultivator 
and the Genesee Farmer,) a monthly periodical, designed 
“ to Improve the Mind and the Soil,” and “to Elevate the 
Standing and Character of the Cultivators of the American 
Soil.” Willis Gaylord and Luther Tucker, Editors. Publish¬ 
ed at Albany, (N. Y.) by Luther Tucker, proprietor, at One Dol¬ 
lar per annum—Six Copies for Five Dollars—20 per cent commis¬ 
sion on twenty-five or more subscribers—25 per cent en one hun¬ 
dred or more. All subscriptions to commence with a volume.

furnished from its commencement—Vols. 1, 2, 3 and 4 at 5o 
cents each; and Vols. 5, 6, 7 and 8, at $1.00 each. 
The publisher of the Cultivator has the pleasure of present¬ 
ing to the friends of Agriculture in the United States, the pros¬ 
pectus of a new volume (the 9th, commencing January 1,1842,) 
of that periodical. This paper is so well known in every part 
of the country, as to Tender a recapitulation of its objects and 
contents, generally, unnecessary. The range and variety of 
its articles—its list of contributors, (embracing the most dis¬ 
tinguished agriculturists in every section of the Union,) unri¬ 
valed in numbers as well as in scientific and practical skill— 
the superiority of its mechanical execution, and the unequaled 
number, rich variety and superior beauty of its illustrations, 
embracing in the last two volumes about 
TWO HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS, 
representing the improved breeds of 
Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Swine, Buildings,Implements,&e. 
and on every subject connected with agriculture, have contri¬ 
buted to render it a favorite with all classes interested in the 
cultivation of the soil, and given it a circulation hitherto un¬ 
known among the agricultural periodicals of the country- 
amounting to about 
Twenty-Two Thousand! 
Grateful for the very favorable consideration the woik has re¬ 
ceived and the extensive patronage awarded,the publisher would 
state that NO EFFORTS OR EXPENSE will be spared to give 
new and increased interest to the volume for 1842. It is intend¬ 
ed to devote a larger portion of the work, (at least one page 
monthly,) to the subjects of GARDENING and the ORCHARD ; 
and to enlarge the department devoted to DOMESTIC AND 
RURAL ECONOMY, and to the DISEASES OF ANIMALS, so 
as to render them as useful as possible to all classes of our citi¬ 
zens. To accomplish this, such arrangements have been made 
as will place within our reach all European periodicals and 
publications important in agricultural and veterinary matters, 
and they will be made available in such a manner, as, in every 
respect, to render the Cultivator worthy the patronage it has re¬ 
ceived, and make it, all things considered, the 
CHEAPEST AND BEST AGRICULTURAL PAPER 
ever published in this or any other country. 
Post-masters and all those kind friends who have heretofore 
with so much liberality and patriotism, as well as those who 
wish to “ elevate the standing and character of the cultivators 
of the American Soil,” are respectfully invited to use their in¬ 
fluence in promoting its circulation by acting as agents in their 
respective neighborhoods.
